Configuring Bookmarks for Virtual Desktop Resource Profiles (NSM Procedure)

When you create a virtual desktop resource profile, the device automatically creates a bookmark that links to the server that you specified in the resource profile. The device allows you to modify this bookmark as well as create additional bookmarks to the same server.

To configure resource profile bookmarks for virtual desktop profiles:

  1. In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager >Devices. Click the Device Tree tab, and then double-click the Secure Access device for which you want to configure resource profile bookmarks for virtual desktop profiles.
  2. Click the Configuration tree tab, and select Users > Resource Profiles > Virtual Desktops.
  3. Click any virtual desktop profile that is already created.
  4. Click the Bookmark tab to modify an existing session bookmark. Or, click New Bookmark to create an additional session bookmark.
  5. Modify the settings as described in Table 1.
  6. Click OK to save the changes.
